Modelling low impact development in the Nose Creek watershed
… and the sustainability of water resources. Low impact development (LID) is an approach to stormwater management that reduces the impact of imperviousness on urban watersheds. This study explored LID retrofitting on private lots to reduce runoff within Calgary's Nose Creek watershed. Six …

LOW IMPACT DEVELOPMENT MIXTURE EVALUATION FOR HEAVY METAL REMOVAL
… to urban stormwater runoff, the LIDMATTM (Low Impact Development MAT) is a stormwater management runoff system designed and manufactured for effective treatment for heavy metals. The LIDMATTM contains approximately 70% sand, 25% manure compost, and 5% steel slag by mass. The LIDMATTM was …

The Adoption of Low Impact Development by Local Governments
Low impact development (LID) is an innovative stormwater management technique that was introduced in early 1990s. However, the transition to use of this more sustainable method has been slow due to technical, institutional, and regulatory barriers to LID adoption. The research questions for this …

Hydrologic Evaluation of Low Impact Development Using a Continuous, Spatially-Distributed Model
Low Impact Development (LID) is gaining popularity as a solution to erosion, flooding, and water quality problems that stormwater ponds partially address. LID analysis takes a spatially lumped approach, based on maintaining the predevelopment Curve Number and time of concentration, precluding …

Performance Evaluation of a Low Impact Development Retrofit for Urban Stormwater Treatment
The goal of Low Impact Development (LID) is to mimic the pre-development hydrologic regime of a catchment through infiltration, filtration, storage, evaporation, and detention of post-development runoff using small-scale hydrologic controls close to the source. A LID facility located in Northern …

Investigation of Low Impact Development Practices For Coastal South Carolina: Oak Terrace Preserve
… have developed regulations to reduce the impact of stormwater and non-point source pollution on receiving waters through the use of stormwater Best Management Practices (BMPs). The curve number (CN) method is oftentimes used to estimate runoff from the 2- and 10-year design event which …

Low-impact recreational practices: assessing and improving wilderness user knowledge, behavioral intentions, and behavior
… this research was to examine knowledge levels of low-impact recreational practices and to explore the effectiveness of education in reducing impacting behavior among users of Shining Rock Wilderness. Wilderness users were found to have little low-impact knowledge, scoring only 59.7 percent correct …

Low-impact development in the Assabet River Watershed : site hydrologic design and watershed-scal implications
Low-Impact Development (LID) is a relatively new approach to stormwater management. It aims to mimic natural hydrology through increased recharge and decreased runoff. LID technologies focus on distributed treatment of stormwater, as opposed to traditional centralized management. The potential …

A Cost Comparison of a Low Impact Development to traditional Residential Development along the South Carolina Coast
<p>Low Impact Developments (LID) are an untraditional form of land development which face skepticism due to lack of knowledge of the costs, implementation, and long term effectiveness. LIDs have shown to produce environmental benefits through reduction in sprawl, management of stormwater runoff, …
